Cleaning and care

en

The filter change indicator (see fig.

26)is designed for the changing cycle of the Active Air Clean and Active HEPA filters.

If you use an Air Clean exhaust filter instead, lighting of the filter change indicator and reset button can be disregarded as the exhaust filter should simply be replaced whenever a new box of Miele filter bags is opened. The indicator lights turn off when the reset button is pressed.

Cleaning and care

￿Turn off the vacuum and unplug it from the outlet before performing any maintenance work.

Textile surfaces

Clean the surface with the dustbrush accessory or a damp cloth.

Vacuum cleaner and accessories

The vacuum cleaner and other plastic accessories can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a cleaner suitable for plastics.

￿Do not use abrasive, oil-based, glass or all purpose cleaners!

Dust compartment

The dust compartment can, if necessary, be cleaned using a dry cloth, dusting brush or a second vacuum to remove any dust.

Monitor the filter bag change indicator and inspect all filters regularly. Clean or replace them when necessary according to these Operating Instructions.

￿Do not submerge the vacuum in water. If moisture gets into the appliance there is the risk of an electric shock.

Frequently asked questions

The vacuum cleaner shuts off automatically.

A warning light ￿ comes on to indicate overheating (see fig. 31).

A temperature sensor will turn off the vacuum cleaner if it becomes too warm. This is indicated by a thermal protection indicator ￿ on the display panel of the vacuum.

This problem can occur if, for example, an object is blocking the suction hose or the filter bag pores have become clogged with fine dust. The cause could also be a heavily soiled exhaust or dust compartment filter. If this happens, turn off the vacuum cleaner (press the On/Off foot switch ￿) and unplug the power plug from the electrical outlet.

Once the cause has been addressed, allow the vacuum cleaner to cool for approx. 20 - 30 minutes before resuming vacuuming.
